A Sprinkle of I Ching: January 2025 Predictions
Go after the big dreams that a bubbling up from deep winter sleep before February hits the pause button.
January kicks off with a burst of auspicious energy, inviting you to dream big and move boldly toward your goals. It is good luck wrapped in a delightful glittery bow. Has it been that way for you?
I’ve been sleeping a lot so when I first started going through this reading I was thinking: Burst of energy? Lots of movement? 🤔 hmmm. How do I reconcile all this sleep with a burst of energy?
But, even in the care and sleep of dark winter nights, dreams are coming up from my subconscious becoming wonderful projects I’m working towards.
If you’ve been nurturing a dream, put it out there. Tell someone. Write it down. Start taking steps toward it, even if they feel small. Do ALL the things.
The energy at the beginning of this month is magnetic, and when your intentions are sincere, people and opportunities will naturally align to support you.
Take those big dreams, share them with your community. As you move boldly forward your community will rally around you–during this time, they will be the driving force in helping you achieve your goals.
The I Ching brings up sincerity as a reminder to be authentic with family, friends, and yourself. Share from your heart and all things are possible. Your intention or goal might not happen right away, but it will happen.
How can you ensure that things are coming from the heart?
January’s reading suggests that your goals and intentions include the highest good of all and are jam packed with joy and fun. The universe will reward those who take care of their community.
A small warning: As the energy shifts this month, your successes might bottom out if you are out of alignment. How does the book say you will know if your successes are likely to stall?
If anyone in your community might describe you as “pretentious” or “inauthentic” you’ve got some work to do in expressing from the heartspace.
If your goals are not aligned with your intentions and purpose.
If procrastination and anxiety are present.
Checking in with the heartspace is a good practice for intuition. Opening to your own heart when you feel disconnected or uncertain about what’s there can be deeply healing but also challenging. It requires patience, gentleness, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.
Cautions and Warnings
A broader perspective will be good for you, letting you take a risky step whether in business, finance, romance, or whatever it is. Try to look at an event or occurrence and see it from multiple perspectives, and allow your mind to conceive of the correctness of different responses rather than focusing on only one interpretation and one response.
Perspective shifting will pay off. When it stops paying off, that may be a sign that the energy of the collective has shifted to the pause of February.
All things will come to a halt then.
If you are currently in a situation, relationship, event, or whatever, that is not to your liking, there will be an exit. You just have to look for the exit door. The exit will feel really good, and it will seem like you have done the impossible.
Importance of Community
Whatever you are doing brings good luck to those who align with their truest intentions. This is the kind of energy that whispers: “Go for it! Your dreams are valid, and the universe is listening.”
Even if you feel like you don’t have all the tools or resources yet, sincerity will open doors—and often, it’s the people around you who will help you walk through them.
This practice of expanding your perspective pays off by preparing you to take bold, even risky steps. Whether in business, finance, romance, or personal growth, this energy supports leaps of faith—provided they are rooted in sincerity and careful observation.
And the payoff?
A thrilling sense of possibility and excitement that comes from stepping into the unknown with courage.
The I Ching doesn’t hand us a neat calendar of when change will occur. Instead, it invites us to observe the flow of events, situations, and relationships.
Think of yourself as a detective of the present moment.
What patterns are unfolding?
What areas feel stagnant?
What feelings or themes keep showing up?
Where does it feel like it is regressing?
These clues will help you understand not just what’s changing, but how and when it’s happening. 🤩
Just before the summary, an announcement.
When I read for this year, I realized that it is VERY helpful to see the whole year in context. The work of each month layers specific types of personal growth and development that, when put together, are like a perfect mille crêpes from Lady M.
Unlike the crêeps, the latter part of this year may have a lot of bitterness — if you resist the universe’s personal work gifts. It is really something when you see the entire layout.
I’m putting together the readings of the year in a digital book format for purchase. I’ve been working like crazy to get the content out as soon as possible. If you want a print book — let me know. by sending an email.
How is the book different from what appears on Substack? The book allows me to go deeper into each month so that I can offer more guidance on the nuances of the energy. This allows you to work with the energy rather than against it.
It is also 12 months of material that you can use to place big projects, events, and other life things around the most auspicious times of the year.
If you love the monthly Sprinkle of I Ching posts and would rather wait, don’t worry! They’ll be coming out for free once a month as usual.
A Second Announcement 📣
Surprise!
This fall, I piloted the study group and received a lot of amazing feedback to bring you 8 weeks of sound meditation practices and workshopping to strengthen your connection to your body, intuition, psychic abilities, and higher self.
Your body is a small part of a larger Consciousness that is you. This Consciousness is what we sometimes refer to as the higher self. It is not only aware of how every cell is functioning, but has access to extraordinary wisdom to offer.
Sound alters your state of mind so that you can directly access your higher self. From there, you may choose to ask questions about choices in your life, creative problems, your health, and other types of advice.
The answers you receive will not always be clear.
Why did my toe release then tingle when I asked about whether I should quit my job?
Why was I seeing a kaleidoscope of blues?
What does this person have to do with my question?
Why did I see a field of flowers?
If you’ve ever been to a sound meditation that left you with questions about your experiences, this is the information we’ll be working with in the live sessions, Tuesdays, on Zoom. We’ll go over the interpretations of what each piece of information means in a way that is easy to learn and apply to your future sound bath meditation experiences.
My goal is that by the end of the 8 weeks you will have the tools to set intentions that get the results you are looking for in a sound meditation and interpret the information you receive from your intuition and higher self at the end. You will have started a glossary of symbols and images your higher self and guides use commonly to communicate with you.
The workshopping will include:
Key Concept Presentation: A key concept relevant to the current week's content will be highlighted.
Analysis of meditation experience: Send your meditation description and reflection in and we will workshop it together!
Q & A: Any study group related inquiries are welcome. Send in your questions and I’ll answer them or workshop them with the group on the next scheduled Zoom.
Case studies: Opportunities to practice meditation analysis using case studies presented by Eve on selected dates.
The first week begins on January 25th, but the introductory materials in tuning into your body, emotions, and how music impacts your mind is available now.
